***** (Originally posted under "Valve/rocker and cooling issues" dated July 16.)
"Interesting topic.. It just so happens that I just put my 389 back together after retrofitting my #76 heads to an adjustable valvetrain, Rhoads lifters and Comp Magnum roller rockers (+ new valves, etc). Before it never got over 190 now its' running 190-210. Is there something up because of the valvetrain??? I thought it may be because I was producing more HP but now I wonder?? " July 19 response.... Did the divider mod, installed a new 160 t/s and the temp did not change much. I checked the radiator while it was out and it seemed to flow very well. I also adjusted the valves once again and the idle A/F. ...it's 97 degrees here today also. I'm running a rebuilt 8 bolt water pump w/ cast impellor as well as a stock fan and fan clutch. I'd like to get it cooler than that so what's next... a RR radiator??? Do they fit into the stock 1965 GTO mounting brackets??
